Chapter 18 Wu Xiaomei

Wukong sneered from the sidelines, even though Bajie was greedy, lustful and reckless, but this old man's origin is unknown, so how can he be an ordinary character in this barren mountain and wild ridge?It is clear that there is a plan long ago, and here is a plan to invite you into the urn, but seeing that there is no demon atmosphere in this manor, it is likely that some god is setting things up here, and just wait and see how it changes. Tang Seng got up and said: "This villain is really audacious, treat me... treat me..." Tang Seng stayed for a long time, but he couldn't think of any way to punish Bajie, so he said cruelly: "Wait for me to write a letter of derogation." Book, drive him out of the division!"

When Bajie heard Tang Seng's anger, he was so frightened that he opened his mouth and began to cry, but this was not a lie, someone secretly instructed him to do something in the Buddhist scriptures team, if he was driven away by Tang Seng this time, he would definitely become a bereaved dog. There is no place for him to stay in any heaven or west. Seeing Bajie's misery, the old man also felt compassion, and said: "Elder, why should he be like this, although Elder Zhu is a bit rough, he is also a man of temperament, let's leave it at that." Tang Seng said: "almsgiver, it's not that I am cruel. This rammed goods violated the three precepts of Buddhism overnight, lying, drunkenness, and lust. If such people stay in my Buddhism, won't it make the Buddhist disciples all over the world be angry?" shame?"

The old man laughed and said: "The Buddha once said: In the whole world, there is no one I do not love; in the whole world, there is no one I do not believe in; in the whole world, there is no one I do not forgive. 'Also, if it's the first time Elder Zhu commits a crime, let him be spared once." At this moment, Wukong thought, "Who will pick up the luggage after driving away this idiot?"So he also said: "Master, let Ba Jie be spared once, if he dares to break the precept again, I will break his two legs!" Tang Seng listened to everyone's persuasion, and then thought that Bajie is the disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva who came back to persuade good people, and said: "Well, if this is the case, I will spare you. I have lost all face as a teacher today. If you dare to do it again, don't blame me for not doing it." recognize you!"

As soon as Bajie heard that there was a turning point, he repeatedly said: "Master is merciful, master is merciful..." Wukong kicked him and said, "I still don't thank the elder." Bajie said: "Senior brother, untie the rope for me, and wait for me to pay homage! Pay homage!" Seeing that it was tied securely, Wukong didn't bother to untie it, he just blew it out in one breath, and the cowhide rope broke inch by inch.Bajie moved his hands and feet, and he knelt down on the ground, saying: "It's my old pig who has lost his mind, he deserves death, he deserves death!"

The elder helped Bajie up, and said: "There is nothing so good as to return from a lost path. Isn't this a joy for everyone!" Then he laughed. Tang Seng said: "Thanks to the kindness of the elders, Amitabha." Wukong approached and reminded: "Master, it's still early, it's time to go on the road." The old man said: "If there is any reason to leave, I see this elder's profound Taoism, so I can't say that I should stay for a day, and ask for advice." Tang Seng refused several times, and agreed to stay here for one night. Wukong knew it must be so, this old man was unpredictable, and he couldn't see his cultivation level, so how could he easily ask Tang Seng to leave?Bajie's being trapped is just an introduction, and the troubles are probably still to come.

The elder asked the names of all the people in turn, and reported his family.It turned out that the old man's surname was Wu, who originally lived in Usi Tibet, and later became enemies with others in the other side, and his family avoided disasters.Now in the manor, there are only old man Wu and his daughter as the masters, and there are several servants and maidservants brought here. Wukong just smiled and said nothing when he heard this, don't say that Wusi Tibetan Kingdom is thousands of miles away, and the Liusha River alone is very difficult for human beings to cross, so old man Wu must be lying.

After the narration, the old man Wu ordered his family to prepare a vegetarian meal for the Tang monks.After eating and fasting early, he left Wukong and the three of them to drink tea in the living room, and dragged Tang Monk into the inner room to read scriptures. When Wu was free and had nothing to do, he teased Bajie: "Idiot, how is the daughter of old man Wu?" Bajie was frustrated, and he didn't eat a few mouthfuls in the early morning meal, but he knew that Wu Kongkong was teasing him, but he didn't dare not answer, and said casually: "That's it." Wu Hui heard that it was interesting, and said, "What is that like?"

Bajie said, "Children, don't ask this." Wukong said with a smile: "I think it's a beautiful face, otherwise how could Bajie be fascinated?" Ba Jie said: "I don't blame me for this matter, it was Miss Na Wu who was eyeing me, who would have thought... who would have known that when I entered the room, she would turn her face and deny anyone!" Wukong laughed, this idiot is really cute, how capable is Marshal Canopy?Teach people three moves and two moves and catch him. He has not yet awakened, and he is still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream.

Tang Seng followed the old man into the backyard, and walked through the corridor to the study room. He saw that this room was full of collections of scriptures and history, and most of them were Buddhist scriptures. Tang Seng likes to read scriptures most, and he lingers for a while, picks up a scripture book and immerses himself in it, not noticing that old man Wu has quietly left. After a while, I felt a scent wafting up, and a white jade cup was presented to Tang Seng. Tang Seng naturally thought it was the old man Wu. He raised his eyes and saw the white wrist holding the tea. I saw a beautiful woman with crescent eyebrows and green face and a pink face standing in front of her. This woman is full of jewels and fragrance, like a nine-day fairy descending from the sky.

The distance between the two of them was not more than a foot, and Tang Seng smelled the fragrance, and felt uncomfortable.He entered the temple since he was a child, and he has never dealt with women before, so where has he seen such a battle?So I don't know where to put my hands.The cup of tea in front of me, it's not okay to pick it up, or not to pick it up.He said in the mouth: "Female... benefactor, thank you very much." The woman was very generous, and she opened her mouth to ask: "Is the elder an eminent Tang Dynasty monk who wants to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures?" Tang Seng took a step back and said, "Exactly."

The woman said: "I just heard from my father that you are the master of that elder pig." Tang Seng heard the woman bring up this matter again, his handsome face turned red, he knew that this woman was the one who was harassed by Bajie last night, so he said: "It's all due to the poor monk's lack of discipline, and he made an apology to the benefactor." The woman covered her mouth with a "puchi" smile, and said, "It's okay, the elder doesn't need to blame himself." Tang Seng said: "There are so many female benefactors, it makes the poor monk feel ashamed." The woman said: "The benefactor comes to the benefactor, it sounds so awkward. My name is Wu Xiaomei, you can call me Xiaomei." After saying this, Wu Xiaomei turned around and left the study room, turned around and smiled sweetly at the door, Said: "You read the book, I won't bother you anymore." Tang Seng saw that the woman was intelligent and generous, and she didn't babble, and he felt a little fond of her, so he said goodbye to Wu Xiaomei. Not long after Wu Xiaomei went out, the old man Wu came in again with square steps.Tang Seng was so disturbed by Wu Xiaomei that he didn't have much time to think about the book. He picked up the white jade teacup, and unconsciously thought of the wrist that was as white as jade.Hearing the old man Wu come in, Tang Seng secretly said: "It's a sin." The old man Wu smiled all over his face, and chatted with Tang Seng about the family life: "The old ancestors have been doing business for generations, and saved tens of thousands of family wealth. Even dozens of lifetimes can't be spent. There are more than a thousand hectares of paddy fields and dry fields, and mountains, forests, and fruit trees are even more difficult to count. Look at this manor. It’s inconspicuous, but there are hundreds of people working for me.” Tang Seng didn't know what old man Wu meant, so he flattered him and said, "It's really a great blessing." The old man Wu said again: "These are trivial things. This place lives in Hezhou, Xiniu. There is no kingly law governing this place, and there are not many cottages in the area. Buddha, welcome and send travelers to the four directions, and do some good deeds, but there is nothing else to ask for." Tang Seng said: "It's good, it's good." Old man Wu sighed at this point, and said: "The old saying is good, every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. I don't lack everything, and I don't want everything, but I also have one worry." Tang Seng asked, "What else is there to worry about, old man?" The old man Wu said: "I think I am nearly fifty years old, but I will die one day. At that time, I will leave the land and family property, and there will be no family members to inherit it. What should I do?" Tang Seng said with a smile: "It is said that the son inherits the father's business. Since the old man has no heirs, it is naturally your love to take care of it." Old man Wu said: "That's what I'm talking about. The daughter inherits the family property and will eventually marry someone else. The accumulation of the ancestors will sooner or later be assigned to the family name." Tang Seng said: "There is no need to worry about this. The world of mortals comes and goes in vain, who is not like this?" The old man Wu said: "The holy monk doesn't know something. My little girl has been taught by the gods and has also practiced some longevity techniques. Although she can't become immortal, she can live for three to five hundred years. Who has such supernatural powers?" Can you grow old with her? You can't marry and marry again, and your reputation will be damaged." Tang Seng asked in surprise: "Could it be that Ling'ai is a fairy?" The old man Wu said: "Oh, she is not as good as ordinary people. If you think she marries an ordinary person, she will be alone again in a hundred years, and there may be family property disputes at that time... Pity my daughter, not only looks like a fairy, but also is smart, The female workers needlework, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all proficient, and she can't even look down on ordinary people." Tang Seng said: "Old man, don't worry about it. When the marriage comes, a beloved one will come to your door." The old man Wu said: "The holy monk doesn't know, I am a little girl who is arrogant and arrogant, and ordinary men will never take it seriously. His immortal master once made a divination for her, saying: "The name of the mountain in the east is Chen. In Wushan, when my younger sister chooses a mate, only a man with the Chen surname from the east can outperform Wu and grow old with my younger sister." Tang Seng was a little surprised when he heard the words, isn't his layman's surname Chen?But thinking about his own identity, he feels at ease. Why do Buddhist disciples think about these mundane things? So Tang Seng said: "This... the poor monk is a little puzzled. Is it possible that a man surnamed Chen from the east can live for three to five hundred years?" The old man Wu said: "The god left a pill, and he only said that if he meets a man surnamed Chen from the east, he will take it with him, and naturally he will live the same life as my little sister." Tang Seng heard that there is such a thaumaturgy in the world, he forced a smile and said: "Sure enough, the magic power of the gods is so strong, it is unimaginable." The old man Wu said: "Since the fairy left, I have to treat visitors from the east carefully, and ask for their surnames in detail, lest I miss one." Tang Seng said with a smile: "It's hard for the old man." Old man Wu said: "There is no way to do this. Fortunately, with the guidance of the gods, I have some clues. Hmm... dare to ask the holy monk and layman's family name?"
